Perch

Why we recommend Perch in Los Angeles

We keep Perch on the short list of Los Angeles dining rooms worth a standalone night rather than a squeezed-in pre-club meal. Industry-regular, rooftop-view, or celebrity-chef Los Angeles dining. Outside Las Vegas, MyRSVP focuses on nightclub and pool-club bookings rather than restaurant reservations, so this page is written as a city guide: the room and its point of view, the menu cues, the practical timing, and the fastest way to reserve your own table. Use it alongside a MyRSVP nightlife or pool booking to stack the full evening.

What to expect in the room and on the menu

Perch occupies the 15th and 16th floors of the historic Pershing Square Building downtown, a dual-level French bistro that opened in 2011 as one of LA’s early rooftop pioneers. Two elevators deposit you into an indoor lounge layered with antique furnishings, patterned tiles, and greenery before the terraces unfold—360-degree views of skyscrapers, distant mountains, and city lights frame the whole experience. The main dining level anchors around a marble bar with table seating, while the 16th-floor rooftop bar sits drinks-focused and 21+ only. Fire pits and two prominent fireplaces anchor the outdoor spaces, their warmth pulling groups through cooler evenings. The vibe shifts with daylight: early dinner stays conversational; weekends bring DJs or live bands and pulse into 1–2am lounge energy. Menu staples include Ahi Tuna Tartare, French Onion Soup with gruyère, and a Fromage & Charcuterie Plate built for sharing—mains range from Chicken Supreme to Chilean Sea Bass and filet mignon. Truffle Cheese Fries are the indulgent sidebar everyone eats. Cocktails run $18–22 with house infusions; expect $100–200 per person with drinks and shared plates. Upscale casual dress code after 4pm (no athletic wear or hats). The sister venue Mrs. Fish operates below, making back-to-back stops seamless for larger groups.

Reservations — how to book Perch

What we tell guests about Perch: it is one of the Los Angeles rooms worth a standalone evening rather than a squeezed-in pre-dinner. The reservation itself is handled directly with the restaurant — through their own site, OpenTable, Resy, SevenRooms, or by phone — depending on how they run their book. If you can get into the chef’s counter, bar seats, or a tasting menu slot, those are often the fastest way into the version of the room regulars are actually there for. For private dining or larger-group enquiries, the restaurant’s events or reservations team is the right first call, not a generic booking channel.

Hours, dress, and planning windows

A few practical details to know before you visit Perch. Hours sit in the venue info block. Dress is restaurant-dependent; check their site for specifics. Peak-demand windows for Los Angeles align with year-round, with awards season (Jan–March) and summer rooftop season as the twin highs, and awards season (Golden Globes, SAG, Oscars), NBA All-Star weekend will sharpen the book further. For reservations outside those peaks, the standard channels (site, OpenTable, Resy, SevenRooms, phone) are usually enough; inside them, plan further out.

How MyRSVP helps with the rest of your Los Angeles trip

How to reserve Perch. Book the dinner reservation direct with the restaurant on their own channels — site, OpenTable, Resy, SevenRooms, or phone depending on how they run their book. Dinner reservations are direct with Perch. For the nightclub, pool day or beach club you’re planning around the meal, submit the MyRSVP form on the relevant venue page and a concierge assigned to that venue will be in touch with pricing, placement and the best area for your group.
